You can no longer prepare and file a 2019 tax return in TurboTax Online.  It has switched over to 2020.  You can still use TurboTax to prepare a 2019 tax return, but you will have to use TurboTax Desktop.  For more information see:

 

How do I finish a prior-year return that I started in TurboTax Online?

 

If you have not filed a 2019 tax return, you should go ahead and do so ASAP to minimize any potential penalties and interest.
